+1. If the TTL of the options we select when posting video is only one level of abstraction, it's completely useless. If someone opts out of advertising on blip and then myheavy aggregates that video and then puts full-screen ads on it, there are two major problems there. First of all, the idea that the person wanted their videos to be shown without advertisement is completely shot. Second, if myheavy advertises on something that blip is hosting that a content creator posted then myheavy needs to kick back advertising dinero to blip who needs to kick it to the content creator, ASSUMING that that creator opted-in to advertising in the first place. Actually, there's a third problem, which is that blip users can only opt-in to advertising options on blip's site. Even if myheavy trickles down monies received from advertisers, those aren't the same advertisers that are a part of blip's "blip blend" or their other options. So, even if money's coming back down the line, that doesn't mean that someone that did a video about sexual harassment of females in the street wants "myheavy's angels" models surrounding that video. Same thing with licensing. As soon as the video achieves the level of abstraction where they no longer include the license, people viewing it on that level will assume that it's not licensed at all and do whatever they want with the video... leading again to "whack a mole", but on a much tougher to detect scale. -- Bill C. http://reelsolid.blip.tv
